Dave Vector Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Hi, Affinity Designer 1.7.0.251 Win10 64-bit, version 1809. I have been playing with Layer Effects gradients in "Outline" and "Gradient Overlay" adding multiple colours. I have also added "Inner Shadow" and "Bevel/Emboss" with involved contour profiles, and blend profiles. There are multiple vector objects in the scene with these Layer Effects applied to them. Often when I add effects I can hear the fans of either my CPU or video card ramp up (sorry, I cannot tell which fans they are.) I am running an Intel i7-8700 with 16GB RAM and a GTX 1080 Ti with a BenQ 4K primary display and a Dell Canvas 27" 2560 x 1440 display. Nothing is overclocked. The crash happens often, but not consistently, so it is hard to reproduce the same way each time. Usually happens when I am adjusting the gradients on an Layer Effect. I will continue to play with it and see if I can provide more detail. In the meantime, I thought you should be aware of it in case others are having the same problem.
Dave Vector Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 Update: I took the time to transfer the Layer Effects over to AD 1.6.5.123 I had to do this by hand since the styles are not backwards compatible. I had the same crash so I filled out the automated crash report. Seems like it can happen when adding colors to the gradient or adjusting the mid points between multiple colors. I hope Serif has enough information to get this fixed. (That, and the ability to add color gradients to the palette from "Outline" and "Gradient Overlay" in Layer Effects )
Staff Sean P Posted March 21, 2019 Staff Posted March 21, 2019 Hi Dave, I've tried this myself and have been unable to reproduce the issue. Would you be able to attach a copy of your file you were modifying (either the 1.6 or the 1.7 format) and a video that demonstrates the crash? Even if you have to record for a little while before you get the crash!. Also could you check the following folder and attach any of the crash dumps from around the time it would have crashed? %AppData%/Affinity/Designer/1.0 (Beta)/CrashReports/reports Thanks!
